Scanner (Cheap) $50 Cheap 35mm Camera $50 Film - dollar or two per roll Developing (Cheap) $4 per roll ScanTime (I got it down to 4 minutes per pic) So, for 24 pics: Sony Scan $660 $105 Equip/Supplies $ 0 $ 96 Scan time (at $60/hr) $ x $ x Size/Upload (same for both) ---- ---- $660 $201 Now for multiple rolls (say 5): Sony Scan $660 $125 Equip/Supplies $ 0 $480 Scan Time ---- ---- $660 $605 The more you take, the more cost effective it becomes. (Mind you, I don't know how you value your time, but waiting for a scanner hardly seems a good use of my time). I know I've taken a lot more than 5 rolls worth of digpics -- Take a look at <http://www.sinasohn.com/urbadv/phalbum.htm> for example. And I've got a lot of classic computers to take too. The Mavica is not the cheapest DigCamera either. If you go for one of the less expensive models, your costs go way down. --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."
